Soraya graciously agreed to pose for me and ended up doing a fantastic job. We went out to dunes in Montano de Oro and played around with her hair, the sand, different poses, lighting, and the wind. This was the first shoot with my Canon 5d Mark II!

My first formal group photo shoot was with Axia. They’re a hard/metal rock group out of San Luis Obispo, Ca. Listen to them on myspace and reverbnation.

This photo shoot was a challenge, because we met after dark. I ended up just using a single strobe off-camera and a white reflector for slightly softer light. Overall they were a lot of fun to work with and really easy going. Their spirit came through in the shots thanks to their energy!

This was my second live show for my project from September 20th. Alex Miner actually lived in my same dorm tower my freshmen year at Cal Poly, and now he plays locally in SLO. He’s a great songwriter and a talented pianist. You can listen to a couple of his songs here
